changes our fundamental understanding of why we succeed, offering a new
model for our relationships with colleagues, clients and competitors.

shows that nice guys need not finish last. He demonstrates how smart
givers avoid becoming doormats, and why this kind of success has the
power to transform not just individuals and groups, but entire
organisations and communities.
